Locomotor training is built on the idea that the nervous system can learn, adapt, and respond when given the right input. 🧠👣

Pioneered through the groundbreaking research of Dr. Susan Harkema Susie Locomotion , this approach uses repetitive, task-specific movement and sensory cues to help activate neural pathways and promote recovery after spinal cord injury and other neurological conditions.

Every step matters. Every repetition has purpose. And every session is an opportunity to challenge what’s possible. 💙

You may not always feel like showing up for your workout.

The motivation won’t always be there. The energy won’t always be there.

Every workout is a step toward greater strength, independence, confidence, and possibility. At NextStep, we’re committed to making life-changing rehabilitation accessible and affordable for individuals living with paralysis—because progress happens one step, one rep, and one session at a time.

NextStep Summit 2025 🩵🤍

Swipe to see how Saturday morning started with a little caffeine & some cutoffs 💪

What an incredible few days at the NextStep Summit! 💥 We had the absolute honor of learning from Dr. Susan J. Harkema, a true leader in spinal cord injury research and recovery. She’s not only a professor and rehab research director at the University of Louisville, but also leads the NeuroRecovery Network through the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation 🙌

We brought together trainers from all over the country to learn, grow, and deepen our understanding of NRN concepts and standardized, evidence-based care.

This is how we move forward — together — to improve function, health, and quality of life for people living with paralysis.

The energy, collaboration, and commitment to change was next-level. We’re so proud to be part of this powerful movement. 💪🧠💙
